Whatever happened to the America that pledged to
“pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, in order to assure the survival and the success of liberty.”
That was JFK’s inaugural speech in 1961. Today almost three hundred girls are held captive by thugs intent on destroying liberty in the world and we do nothing. Oh, excuse me; I forgot. We are “tweeting” outrage. Somehow I don’t think that’s what President Kennedy had in mind when he talked about our commitment to preserve liberty, especially since his statement was directed to foreign nations, whether they wished us “well, or ill.”
Remember when Michelle Obama said that for the first time she was proud of her country? Well, for the first time I can honestly say I am ashamed of my country, because we are no longer living up to the principles of our creed. Every friend and every adversary knows that we will not defend the cause of liberty around the world. No, in fact, the federal government is bent on destroying liberty right here in our homeland.
When there is a greater effort to promote gay, lesbian and trans-gender lifestyles than there is to capture the murderers of our foreign ambassadors, it becomes clear that we are quickly abandoning the vision of our founders in exchange for a godless, perverted vision that will end in a sad obituary for the nation that was once “the world’s last best hope.”
We need a revival in our land to awaken those who know the truth, but have been complacent while godless socialist activists have dominated the national agenda. We must once again declare with boldness that we are, in fact, One Nation Under God, and revisit the timeless principles that have preserved our liberties since the Pilgrims settled in Plymouth. Those principles are the very same principles that foster a virtuous life, without which there can be no preservation of liberty.
